This 35mm presentation is part of Close-Up Cinema's 'Essential Cinema' programme. You can find full details of the season here.

Chicago Reader review:
Akira Kurosawa's remarkable 1957 restaging of Macbeth
in samurai and expressionist terms is unquestionably one of his finest works—charged with energy, imagination, and, in keeping with the subject, sheer horror. Incidentally, this was reputed to have been T.S. Eliot's favorite film. With Toshiro Mifune and Isuzu Yamada.
Jonathan Rosenbaum


Here (and above) is the trailer.
